Something
Not Kosher
By Yitzhak Shargil
HAIFA (JTA)-While
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat's visit to Israel last
week ran smoothly for the
most part, one segment of it
turned out not to be kosher—
his food. The Mashgiah, who
supervises kashrut- at the
Dan Carmel Hotel where
Sadat stayed was shocked
when he spotted n the
Egyptian President's1 personal cook in the kitchen preparing one of Sadat's favorite ' dishes—mutton. The
meat was brought from
Egypt and thus not kosher.
The mashgiah was faced,
with a dilemma since the
meat would be placed on
hotel dishes which were
being used for the two banquets given for Sadat. He
could have declared both
dinners treifah. But first he
checked with the heads of
the Haifa Kashrut Department, who in turn consulted
the, city's two chief rabbis.
Their solution was that the
dishes used by Sadat would
not be used by the' hotel any
'„, longer.,. Everyone- A was
happy, including the
Egyptian cook who could
take the dishes back, to
Egypt with him as souvenirs.

disturbed boys get the best'
care possible and the success rate is astoundingly
high. Without the Children's
Home these boys might
never live productive lives.
BBW are the sole supporters
of this life giving home—one
that gives dignity, hope and
a real future to these Jewish
youth. The care is of the
highest calibre and because
of BBW most-of thesevboys
go on to successful lives in
the world of work arid as parents.

HAIFA (JTA)—Premier
Menachem Begin and President Anwar Sadat reiterated
their pledge to peace in the '
Middle East at a state dinner
conducted in their behalf last
week.
"We shall not be discouraged," Begin told some
150 persons assembled in the
Dan Carmel Hotel, many of
whom had attended the larger and more lavish dinner
the night before. "We signed
a great, international document, a peace treaty. We will
carry it out in good faith, in'
cooperation, in understanding, in friendship; for the
good of our peoples and of
the region and of the world."
Noting the need to "set an
example of how understanding between nations
can be achieved and how
they live together in peace,
the Premier observed ironically that in contrast to days
past, when "war. was attacked as a tragiCi horrifying phenomenon,", now
peace is being condemned
"in international conference
halls, by official communiques, by various
spokesmen .. . what a damaging action. What has
always been a praiseworthy ',
cause for joy and rejoicing
has become in certain
circles a cause for alarm."
In turn, the Egyptian
President firmly expressed
his commitment to a comprehensive peace. "We are
determined to take the road
(of peace) no matter what
the obstacles might be. We"
made a firm commitment to
our peoples and all the
nations of the world to pursue the noble goal of peace
and reconciliation. This is
not merely a line of policy. It
is a sacred mission that
a special award.
This year's keyhote address will be given by Irving
Bernstein, Executive Vice
Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal.
The meeting, which includes a Kosher dinner, will
be preceded by a reception.
